It provides original evidence that founders who are deeply influenced by Confucianism have a higher likelihood choosing member or guanxi-connected nonfamily as successor.

We investigate the structure of a digraph having a transitive automorphism group where every cutset of minimal cardinality consists of all successors or all predecessors of some vertex. We improve most of the existing results in this area.

This technical report contains the formal proofs for all of our theoretical results, as well as a description of our experimental setup for all of the results given in our AAAI-2000 paper entitled Speeding up the Convergence of Real-Time Search. In that paper, we propose to speed up the convergence of real-time search methods such as LRTA*. We show that LRTA* often converges significantly faste...
